Hello. My in-laws have an older 2012 Insteon Hub and recently upgraded their home internet and router. I have been able to get the old Hub to re connect to the new router but I have been unsuccessful in getting the Port Forwarding set up in order to control the lights when they are away (and make sure the lights have been turned off).
I have the IP Address and user and PW info for the router (looks to be a Caix 854G ?) and I am able to get into the router and found the IP address of the Hub. However, when I enter the IP Address of the Hub into a web browser, it cannot connect. Based on the guides I have found, it looks like I need to be able to get into the Hub and change the IP address and Port to a fixed IP address and Port so I can then go into the Port forwarding on the router and open the port to allow access to the Hub.
My problems are: While I can find the IP Address of the Hub, I can't find the Port.
When I try to access the Hub by typing in its IP address in a web browser, I can't access it. - Not sure then how to change its IP address to a fixed IP address. Can I / do I have to do that in the router's 'Advanced' / IP Addressing / DHCP Reservation" tab? (I assume I first need to set a fixed IP and Port for the Hub in order to then do the port forwarding.)
Apologies if these are all very basic questions. Trying to figure all of this out.
Thx in advance for any assistance.
